Now the water from the first glass is poured into the second glass and the second glass becomes [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] full. Let the total volume of the second glass be y.

Therefore  [tex]\frac{2}{3}y=\frac{3}{4} x[/tex]

Or,[tex]y=\frac{9}{8}x[/tex]

Now, required fraction=Volume of first glass/Volume of second glass

or, fraction=[tex]\frac{x}{y}[/tex]

or, fraction=[tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex].

The Volume of the first glass is  [tex]$\frac{8}{9}$[/tex] of the second glass.
